Initial Provisioning of Secondary Items--A Recommendation for the Norwegian Navy.

Abstract

Initial provisioning of secondary spare parts is an important process of the acquisition of a weapon system. It has a direct and powerful impact on system effectiveness and on future inventory costs. This thesis presents and analyzes existing models for secondary item provisioning and makes a recommendation for provisioning policies in the Norwegian Navy. The mean supply response time model is found to be the most appropriate model both for provisioning as well as for replenishments at periodic reviews. The model will also serve as a valuable tool in the budgeting process as it relates budget levels and their respective performance levels.
